I know that the divers body has been recovered, have you heard of a cause?

I got a little more info. They were on a dive charter with a local dive charter company Bottom Time Charters . It is owned by a Wateree Scuba instructor. The divers were diving a site called the Stone House. It's deep there, like 130' . It's close to the lake's dam and intake towers. The diver's name is public, you can search for it. Apparently the diver was going down to the bottom and something happened and he drowned. The visibility was low and it's dark at that depth. He was found close to the site they were diving. That's all the details I've heard.
